Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is a targeted therapy using synthetic somatostatin analogues attached to a radionuclide, which binds to tumours expressing somatostatin receptors. The aim was to review the role of PRRT in a tertiary referral centre. We retrospectively reviewed a cohort of 25 patients (eight males, 17 females), with a median age of 65, who received Yttrium-90 DOTATATE or Lutetium-177 DOTATATE at Addenbrookes Hospital.
